He's the sort of comedic voice who brings context, emotional intelligence and sharp observational skills to the job of making audiences laugh. Netflix, which is premiering the first two episodes of "Patriot Act" on Sunday, has such confidence in "The Daily Show" alum that it's ordered 32 episodes of the show — a big commitment for a brand-new series.
